Special guest, Pedro Taffe, who came all the way from Mexico, sang with our students during our variety show.
We hope that everybody had a relaxing, yet exciting break. We wish everyone a happy new year. Students should try and think of a new year’s resolution to make 2010 the best school year ever. Some of our resolutions are: get more organized, complete all homework, get good grades and be on time for school.
Our school breakfast on the last day of classes was very delicious. We enjoyed pancakes and French toast. After that delicious breakfast we had class parties and enjoyed great snacks. After all that excitement we had a variety show. Thank you to all the students and staff for participating and showing their talent. We had juggling, hula-hooping, singing, dancing and cheerleading. Also, a special guest visited us all the way from Mexico, Pedro Taffe, came and sang with our students.
